Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING ALONG HWY 95 IN GEORGIA FOR SEVERAL HOURS EARLY ONE MORNING. I WENT TO PASS A SEMI AND LOST ALL POWER. THE TRUCK RPMS JUMPED UP WHILE THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED TO 4TH GEAR BUT THE TRUCK DID NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO GET BACK INTO MY LANE IN AN ABRUPT WAY CAUSING TRAFFIC TO RE-ACT AND ALLOW ME BACK IN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ALMOST A DOZEN TIMES SINCE THEN. FORD HAS BEEN ISSUING TSB FOR A FIX BUT NONE OF THEM WORK. THIS IS ONLY HAPPENING ON THE 3.5L ECO-BOOST MOTOR. THEY ARE NOW IN THEIR 3RD MODEL YEAR OF THIS TRUCK AND ARE STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE TIMING OF WHEN THIS HAPPENS IS UN-PREDICTABLE AND OFTEN LEAVES NO CODES FOR THE DEALER TO TROUBLESHOOT, SO YOU GET SENT ON YOUR WAY WITH "COULD NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM". FORD HAS BEEN CLAIMING IT IS CONDENSATION IN THE INTER-COOLER, HAS ISSUED COMPUTER UPDATES NUMEROUS TIMES, NOW THEY HAVE RELEASED AND UPGRADED INTER-COOLER, BUT THE PROBLEMS ARE STILL HAPPENING. *TR
